When Mr. Harrigan dies, Craig soon learns that perhaps it doesn’t mean that he’s gone for good as Craig starts to communicate with Mr. Harrigan from beyond the grave—and the teen’s late friend is out for revenge on those who’ve wronged Craig....
With two games remaining in Group A, the Dutch find themselves in third position - four points behind group leaders France and three shy of second placed Sweden. On Saturday, Netherlands travel to Belarus while Sweden host Luxembourg. But with the Swedes enjoying a goal difference of +6 over the Dutch - and expected to beat Luxembourg handsomely - the likelihood is that Dick Advocaat’s men will, in order to make the playoffs, have to rack up a huge win over Sweden when they host them on the final matchday on Tuesday....

After Mexico had a glimpse of the fifth match that has so cruelly eluded it, had it nearly locked up, and ended up losing on a stoppage-time penalty kick, it’s tough for Miguel Herrera to accentuate the positive....
The news has since prompted fans of the women’s clothing chain to take to social media, perplexed by why other—possibly less popular—retailers are able to remain in relatively good financial order. The post quickly generated many responses ranging from supportive to outright disagreement, as well as an offering of potential reasons for the retailer’s financial predicament. However, as the comments on the news of the company’s potential bankruptcy filing poured in from across the Twitterverse, Forever 21’s longstanding rivalry with competitors such as Rainbow and Rue21—in the eyes of consumers—grew more apparent....
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Nets announced that Irving has been placed in the NBA’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols.

NBA LEAGUE PASS: Sign up to unlock live out-of-market games (7-day free trial) Booed for much of the game by his former fanbase, Irving appeared to flip the bird to the crowd as the tense environment reached fever pitch. “It’s the same energy, and I’m gonna have the same energy for them,” Irving said postgame. “And it’s not every fan, I don’t want to attack every fan, every Boston fan, but when people start yelling [expletives], it’s about so much you can take as a competitor....
It's an image that has become all too familiar in recent years. Each time the Brooklyn Nets' $100 million point guard suffers another setback, he returns to the drawing board, works to regain full use of his injured ankles, then eventually suffers the same fate. The latest setback came in Brooklyn's 95-91 loss to the Charlotte Bobcats on Wednesday. Williams was in his first game back since suffering a similar injury against the Phoenix Suns last Friday....
There was a method to the media madness: corporate synergy. With tragedy unfolding throughout the day yesterday, the handful of corporate giants that now control the most popular broadcast and cable channels ran their coverage on all of their outlets. The most far-reaching example: AOL Time Warner. It controls TNT, Court TV, local cable-news channels, TBS Superstation and CNNfn as well as CNN-which ran on all of them. Even AOL-owned WB, the youthful broadcast network, dumped its entertainment schedule last night to carry CNN....
The concept of neurodiversity is gaining traction as both neurodiverse and neurotypical people are finding that differences are not necessarily disabilities. Some differences can be real strengths.

Before we get into all the details surrounding the release of this new version of the Nintendo Wii U title, check out the official trailer below. Super Mario 3D World was originally released for Wii U in 2013, and it offered Mario fans another adventure through the Mushroom Kingdom. The original stages from the 2013 game will return in this new re-release, but the Nintendo Switch version will bring out new content and—per the title—Bowser’s fury....

It’s been almost a month since the last official Pokémon Sword and Shield information was released.

There’s something certainly ironic with the wording of the tweet here: “Allow us to show you the future.” That’s because the new uniforms are actually just the pre-2015 uniforms with a few minor updates. Take a look for yourself: Here’s the thing: While Tampa Bay’s uniforms were pretty bad, going back to something as generic and bland as “white-with-red-numbers” is painful. They’re not ugly uniforms at all — they’re just generic....
While recreational cannabis use for adults 21 and older was approved by New Jersey voters in 2020, the state’s Cannabis Regulatory Commission has been slow to establish firm vendors’ rules and hand out licenses. In response, impatient would-be vendors are trying to find workarounds. “In legalizing adult-use cannabis in New Jersey, the Legislature made it clear they were creating a regulated market with restrictions on how that market operates,” said Attorney General Gurbir S....
“This isn’t about vaccinations, this is about being bullied, and we’re not going to be bullied,” International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) General President Edward Kelly said aboard a parade float outfitted as a stage. In August, Mayor Ras Baraka issued a directive requiring all city employees to get the jab within 30 days, provided an employee has no outstanding religious or medical exemptions. The Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 12 and the Newark Firefighters Union attempted to file a restraining order to stop the mandate, which provided employees 30 days to provide proof of vaccination or risk being terminated....
Wanser Brown, 66, is accused of two counts of endangering a child’s welfare after police visited a property in the 500 block of Clinton Avenue for a wellness check on the 12-year old boy at 10:10 a.m. on February 10. When officers located the boy, who was under the foster care of Brown, he was confined to a bedroom and tethered to a fan by chains and padlocks, according to Newark’s public safety director Anthony Ambrose....
The Lobos’ head coach Bob Davie was taken to the hospital following the contest due to heart trouble, according to a report from the Albuquerque Journal. “We ask that you keep the Davie family in your prayers,” athletic director Eddie Nunez said in a statement, via ESPN. The 64-year-old’s condition led New Mexico to cancel its postgame press conference. Davie has been with the Lobos since the 2012 season and has compiled a 34-54 record during his time with the team....
“Gambling in terms of our society has changed its presence on legalization, and I think it’s important for there to be a conversation between me and the owners about what our institutional position will be,” Manfred said Thursday on ESPN’s “Outside the Lines”. Manfred’s opinions on wagering aligns with recent sentiments expressed by NBA commissioner Adam Silver. “I understand the arguments that Adam made, and I think the most appropriate thing for me at this point … is to wait until I’ve had a chance to deal with the owners on this topic,” Manfred said....
Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show a steady decrease in overall cases, hospitalizations, and deaths, which has caused states and major cities to ease up on mask and vaccination protocols. However, while cases and hospitalizations appear to be decreasing, data from the CDC indicates a prevalence of the virus in wastewater in some areas, indicating that COVID could still be spreading significantly in some cities....
In a joint effort by Johns Hopkins and Texas State universities, a new report is advocating for fair and equitable COVID-19 vaccine distribution to ease the burden on BIPOC communities. The report also expresses the urgency of addressing the inequalities these communities face. “This is an opportunity, especially now, with the federal government and states to start putting their money where their mouth is,” Emily Brunson, MPH, PhD, associate professor of anthropology at Texas State University, tells Verywell....
The new species is a type of “pumpkin toadlet,” of the genus Brachycephalus, says Sci-news.com. These types of frogs, which are native to the forests of Brazil’s southeast coast, feature intense tangerine coloring and measure less than two centimeters in length. As adorable as they may be, they pack a mighty punch for something of their size. According to New Scientist, the creatures’ skin “secretes a powerful neurotoxin.” The new species, Brachycephalus rotenbergae, is distinct from its fellow pumpkin toadlets in that it is slightly smaller, has black spots, and has about 3% of different DNA....
